Chapter 485: 484 Libra (Third Update)

The news of Qian Guanshu’s arrest has caused a sensation in no time.

The arrest of the chief of the prestigious Commercial Management agency, who is also the closest person to the head of Commercial Management, has caused a stir.

Uninformed spectators started speculating wildly, eagerly waiting for the truth.

All of Jin City’s media outlets have been mobilised, scrambling to get the latest insider news.

Ye Wenhan was caught off guard when he received the news ?!

How could his father be arrested? His father is such a cautious person. What could possibly have given them the evidence to arrest him so suddenly? What exactly happened last night ?!

And now, what is he supposed to do?

The media are waiting for him everywhere, and they are even calling his assistants for updates. He doesn’t even know what to say!

“Mr. Ye.” Qianguanshu’s confidant, who has also been at Qian’s side, entered the room and respectfully suggested, “Right now, the most important thing is to see Mr. Qian.”

Ye Wenhan nodded, “I know, but with so many people outside, I’ll definitely get caught by the media.”

“Even so, we have to go and see Mr. Qian, otherwise we won’t know what to do next.” His confidant reminded.

Ye Wenhan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. “Alright.”

Ye Wenhan got into a black sedan with his confidant and headed straight to the city detention centre.

As soon as they drove out of the gate, a swarm of reporters descended on them, blocking their path.

“Mr. Ye, you should get out of the car and handle this.” His confidant advised.

Ye Wenhan hesitated, worried that he might say something wrong.

Yet his confidant was quite certain, “You are taking the friendly path now, and I suggest you simply deal with it. You don’t need to say too much; just express that you don’t know the specifics and you’re very upset. Don’t say anything else.”

Ye Wenhan nodded slightly.

He got out of the car.

The reporters immediately encircled him.

“Mr. Ye, what is the situation regarding the sudden arrest of Chief Secretary Qian?”

“Mr. Ye, do you know what crime Chief Qian committed?”

“Mr. Ye…”

Ye Wenhan started, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am not very clear about the situation either. I’m quite upset by what’s happened, but I personally think there may be a misunderstanding. Please don’t listen to rumors – wait for the official announcement.”

“Mr. Ye, where are you going now?”

“I’m going to the police station to find out what’s happening. Please give me some space.”

“Do you think Chief Qian is innocent?” a reporter pushed.

“Based on what I know of him, there must be some misunderstanding.”

“Mr. Ye, you’re really defending Chief Qian.”

“It’s not about defending him. It’s about trust.” Ye Wenhan stressed, adding, “Absolute trust.”

“Mr. Ye …”

“I’m sorry, I really don’t have much time. Please make some room for me, thank you.”

Having said this, Ye Wenhan, with the help of his assistant, got back into the car.

The car slowly moved through the crowd and drove off.

Ye Wenhan was clearly agitated, he couldn’t help but burst out, “You’re usually so capable! What’s all this about?!”

His confidant, who was riding shotgun, hesitated to speak.

If Mr. Qian has been caught, the person behind this is definitely not someone to be taken lightly. The most crucial thing for Mr. Ye right now isn’t to complain, but to worry about how to handle the situation?!

They arrived at the detention centre.

Ye Wenhan went in following the proper procedures and met with Qian Guanshu.

Qian Guanshu looked as vibrant as ever, showing no signs of decline.

“How could this happen?” Ye Wenhan couldn’t help asking.

Qianguanshu looked around and gestured for him to be careful with his words.

Ye Wenhan suppressed his emotions.

The two men sat opposite each other.

Ye Wenhan spoke in a soft voice, “Who framed you?”

“Ji Baijian.”

Ye Wenhan’s face changed immediately.

“But the innocent shall prove their innocence. I’ve done nothing wrong, so he can’t harm me.”

“What should I do now?” asked Ye Wenhan.

“Find Jun Minghan. I want to see him.”

“Will he see you now?” Ye Wenhan was worried.

“He will.” Qian Guanshu answered with certainty.

“Alright, I’ll go find him.” Ye Wenhan nodded.

“Also, don’t disclose too much about my situation. If I get into trouble, I don’t want it to affect you.”

“You’ll be in trouble?” Ye Wenhan got agitated.

The moment he saw Qian Guanshu, he thought his father had everything under control.

“It’s hard to say this time, but if Ji Baijian thinks he can bring me down just like that, he’s really daydreaming.”

“Alright.” Ye Wenhan nodded, suddenly remembering something. “What about Weng Cheng …”

Qianguanshu nodded.

Ye Wenhan let out a sigh of relief.

Qian Guanshu said, “Remember what I’ve told you.”

“Hmm.”

“You go ahead, don’t linger too long and arouse suspicion,” Qian Guanshu said.

Ye Wenhan nodded.

“Ask Zhang He anything you need during this time, listen to him more when I’m not around. He’s been with me for many years, I trust him exclusively!”

“Okay.”

Qian Guanshu signaled him with a look to leave.

Ye Wenhan left with his confidant, Zhang He.

Back in the limousine, Ye Wenhan said to Zhang He, “Have me contact Jun Minghan.”

“According to Mr. Qian’s directive, Mr. Qian has known how to protect himself all these years.”

Ye Wenhan nodded and dialed a call to Jun Minghan.

The call was answered, “Mr. Ye.”

“Qian Guanshu wants to see you,” Ye Wenhan said bluntly.

“I’ll find time to visit him.”

“Mr. Jun, I’m counting on you to help with Mr. Qian’s matter,” Ye Wenhan said quietly.

“No need for formalities, I have a good private relationship with Mr. Qian. If Mr. Qian is innocent, I’ll do everything I can to help.”

The premise is, if he’s innocent. If the evidence is conclusive, he would be powerless.

Ye Wenhan didn’t dare say too much at this moment, fearing that a careless word might cause trouble. Anyway, Qian Guanshu was his father, and he also needed to rely on him. Naturally, he didn’t want anything to happen to Qian Guanshu.

After hanging up the call, Ye Wenhan went to the Commercial Management office. As the head of Commercial Management, he could not lose his composure.

When he arrived at Commercial Management, everyone looked at him with strange eyes. Usually, he would enter and leave with Qian Guanshu. Now that Qian Guanshu was absent, could the news spreading in the media about Chief Qian’s arrest be true?

Ye Wenhan walked back to his own office.

Just settled down, the office door was knocked.

Ye Wenhan steadied his feelings.

“Come in.”

Song Zhizhi entered the room.

Ye Wenhan’s face turned at the sight of Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi was rather calm, she held a document that needed to be signed and walked towards Ye Wenhan, “This is a decision summary from last time, it needs your signature.”

Ye Wenhan lowered his head to take a look, then slowly signed his own name.

Song Zhizhi picked up the signed document and was about to leave.

“Song Zhizhi,” Ye Wenhan suddenly called her.

Song Zhizhi turned around.

“What are you up to now?” Ye Wenhan asked.

“What could I possibly be up to?” Song Zhizhi laughed lightly.

“Don’t think you can get your way, Song Zhizhi!” Ye Wenhan threatened.

Song Zhizhi was not fazed, she laughed and said, “Mr. Ye, take care of yourself.”

Ye Wenhan’s face darkened.

“When Secretary Qian’s trouble affects Mr. Ye, it will be more loss than gain!”

“Stop inciting terror!”

“Of course, whether or not to listen is up to Mr. Ye. I am just kindly reminding.”

Song Zhizhi said these and turned to leave, then seemed to think of something, “By the way, Mr. Ye, has anyone ever told you that you look a little like Mr. Qian?”

“What nonsense are you spouting!” Ye Wenhan was furious.

“Why is Mr. Ye so agitated?”

“Song Zhizhi, don’t get smug! You’ll pay for this someday!”

“This phrase, better save it for yourself.” Song Zhizhi smiled slightly, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

And just like that, she left.

Ye Wenhan looked at Song Zhizhi’s retreating figure, so infuriated that he felt like exploding!

He really wanted to kill Song Zhizhi, this woman who had been flaunting her power in front of him, he had reached his limit.

He definitely would not let Song Zhizhi get away easily.

Meanwhile.

Just as Song Zhizhi stepped out of Ye Wenhan’s office, her father called her into his office.

When she entered, her brother Song Zhidao was also there.

“Dad.”

“What’s the situation with Qian Guanshu?” Song Shan asked somewhat anxiously.

“I’m not entirely sure, but it mustn’t be a minor crime, otherwise he wouldn’t have been detained so readily.”

Song Shan suddenly laughed, “So, the sly and cunning Qian Guanshu has his day too. Once he’s in trouble, Ye Wenhan will become harmless.”

Song Zhizhi smiled indifferently.

There were a lot of things she really didn’t want to tell her father too much.

She was increasingly feeling her father’s pursuit of power.

And this, was diametrically opposed to Ji Baijian.

She didn’t know what choice she should make when the day came.
